Question

The difference between the 64 and a number is equal to 48​

Answer 1

Answer: The difference between 64 and 112 is equal to 48

Explanation:

To write this statement as an equation we know that difference means the result of subtracting two numbers. So with that in mind, we know that the difference between 64 and a number can be written like this
`64-x`.

So now our equation should look like this
`x-64=48`

Now to solve this equation we have to move 64 to the right side and to do that we just simply add 64 to both sides of the equation

`x-64=48\\+64=+64\\x=112`

Now we add 48 and 64 to get 112. So our missing number is 112.

Answer 2

number a is 16.

Explanation:

Let's say the number is a.

We can express the problem as an equation:

`\sf 64 - a = 48`

To solve for a,

we add a to both sides of the equation:

`\sf 64 - a + a = 48 + a`

`\sf 64 = 48 + a`

Subtracting both sides of the equation by 48

`\sf 64 - 48 = 48 + x - 48`

`\sf 16 = x`

Therefore, the number a is 16.
